After Friday's practice, coach Brian Billick said that rookie Derek Anderson will likely be the team's backup quarterback behind Anthony Wright, but Stewart could also be in that mix if Anderson falters in that role, the team's official site reports.

Stewart will remain second on the quarterback depth chart in Baltimore, despite the activation of last year's number two Anthony Wright from the physically-unable-to-perform list reports the Baltimore Sun.

Stewart signed a one-year contract with the Ravens in June. With Anthony Wright hurt, he will go into the season as Kyle Boller’s backup. If Boller struggles or gets hurt, Stewart, always capable of putting up points with his legs, still has a hint of upside.

2003

Stewart's fantasy value will ultimately depend on how much he's able (or allowed) to use his running skills. While he isn't again going to score 11 times on the ground like he did in 1997, he can be safely projected to pick up 350 to 500 rushing yards and anywhere from 2 to 5 touchdowns. The Steelers grew frustrated with Stewart's “run first, ask questions later” style over the years and stubbornly tried to make him a pocket passer more than once. But perhaps the Bears will let Slash run free again. Head coach Dick Jauron insisted this spring that the Bears plan to consider “every running play designed for a quarterback” as they piece together their offense for 2003.
